Crane Collapses As Fire Crews Battle Multiple Blazes - Vancouver

A crane lays across West 41st Avenue after a collapse as Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services spray an ongoing fire in Vancouver, BC, Canada on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.

Thick plumes of smoke and large chunks of burning embers drifted west, east and north across the surrounding blocks. Photo by Ethan Cairns/CP/ABACAPRESS.COM
